Running river rainbow?

Recommended Posts

Hey all! My Lfs sold me “running river rainbows” 2 of them are definitely rainbow fish and the other looks similar to a tetra but I’m new to rainbows so I have no clue. I haven’t seen anything on running rivers and was wondering if it is even possible and how can I tell they are in fact that species (and for the one that looks like a tetra how to tell if it even is a rainbow)

If you take a picture of them we will be able to help identify them

Top pic definitely a rainbow fish  the bottom fish looks familiar am not sure what it is I don't think it is a rainbow fish maybe some one else can chip in

I think I’m going to go to my lfs and mention that it isn’t a rainbow. I’m kind of mad about it but that’s life haha.

Late update: sorry I haven’t been on here much just got busy. The weird fish has passed away (idk why all parameters were good) but the “running rivers” still have no color. I added more rainbows to encourage schooling and more comfort.
